Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What calendar system does this tool use?
This tool uses the standard Gregorian calendar, which is the most widely used civil calendar internationally.
How far back or forward can I select a date?
Most modern browsers support a very wide range of dates for the JavaScript Date object, typically from well before year 1 to far into the future (e.g., up to year 275,760). For practical purposes, you can select most historical and future dates you'd likely need.
Does the tool account for leap years?
Yes, the underlying date calculations in JavaScript (and thus this tool) correctly account for leap years, ensuring the day of the week is accurate.
Is the result affected by my computer's time zone?
When you select a date using the date picker (e.g., "2024-07-15"), it's generally interpreted as that specific calendar date in your local timezone (specifically, midnight at the start of that day). The day of the week for that calendar date is consistent globally. The tool uses your browser's locale settings to display the day name (e.g., "Monday" in English, "Lunes" in Spanish).
